MORE PROOF NATIONALIZED HEALTHCARE SUCKS: NHS KILLS 1300 MENTAL HEALTH PATIENTS A YEAR - ANOTHER THOUSAND GET SERIOUS INJURIES!

GUARDIAN:

The NHS is today castigated for providing "inadequate" psychiatric help to vulnerable mental health patients, as new figures reveal an average of four deaths a day among those in its care.

Data collected by the National Patient Safety Agency (NPSA) shows that 1,282 people in England died in what it calls "patient safety incidents in mental health settings" in the period 2007-08.

Another 913 patients - more than two a day - suffered what is termed severe harm, or permanent injuries, in such incidents.

The figures include patients who died as a result of self-harming behaviour, including suicide, disruptive or aggressive behaviour, medication safety errors and accidents, although it is not specified how many deaths fell into each category.

Campaigners claimed last night that the high death rates showed that many of the hundreds of thousands of mentally ill people who seek help each year receive a second-class service.

REPEAT: second-class service.

• YET THIS IS THE KIND OF HEALTHCARE OBAMA HOLDS UP AS HIS MODEL AND WANT AMERICA TO ADOPT.

• THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO WILL BENEFIT ARE THE UNIONS LIKE THE SEIU WHICH - COINCIDENTALLY - CAMPAIGNED HEAVILY FOR OBAMA.

DON'T BE A DUPE.

DISSENT ACCORDINGLY.
